How can Shopsite support discount structure based on user ID or login?. I
have several customers who need to buy at different price structures. Does
Shipsite support this?.

Unfortunately, Shopsite does not currently support this functionality. You
can contact their development team to arrange for a fee-based implementation
of 'mirror stores' - one store for retail, one for wholesale, etc.

discount structure is, and how many different discount structures you
have.
If each of your discount structures is just a flat percentage off all
products, then just make a coupon for that percentage for each discount
structure. Then in Customer Registration you can create a group for this
discount level, and assign the coupon to the group and the particular
registered users to the group (if your customers that get these discounts
haven't already registered, you may need to do it for them and send them
their username and password). Then when that particular user logs in, they
automatically get this coupon discount applied in their cart because of
the group they are assigned to.
If you have different discount structure for your different customers,
then you would just create a different coupon and different group for each
on of them.
It gets more difficult when you have different levels of discounts for
different products in your store (i.e. 5% for some, 10% for others), but
you can create multiple coupons and assign the specific products to them
that fall in those different categories, and then assign multiple coupons
to your groups.
It gets virtually impossible if instead of percentages your discount is a
set amount for each individual product so that they don't conform to a few
set percentages, because then it is possible that you would have to make
hundreds of different coupons to describe all of the different discounts
your products can have, and assign those products to the various coupons
and the various coupons to the various groups. Not only could this get
tedious in this instance, but it could also look ugly in the shopping cart
to have 100's of coupons added to it when the shopper logs in.
